Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 143: Allisons expression remained unreadable as she asked, So, what evidence do you have? From the moment Marc started speaking, she had seen through his clumsy trap, recognizing his intent to frame her.

As she watched those who eagerly jumped in to slander her, she mentally pieced together their motives, already knowing their backgrounds.

Marc had expected her to lose her composure, maybe lash out, but instead, Allison met his gaze with calm indifference as if he were beneath her notice.

His chest tightened.

Her cold, unwavering gaze sent a ripple of discomfort through the room, shaming those standing before her.
